 Having achieved
enormous success as a silent movie star, Garbo was one of the
few who made the transition to talkies; received four Academy
Award nominations for Best Actress [Anna Christie (1930),
Romance (1930), Camille (1937), and Ninotchka
(1939)].
Greta Garbo was considered one of the most glamorous movie stars
of the 1920s and 1930s, but was just as famous for shunning publicity,
which became part of the Garbo mystique. Except at the very beginning
of her career, she granted no interviews, signed no autographs,
attended no premieres and answered no fan mail. The iconoclastic
Garbo resolutely clung to her individuality. In 1941, she withdrew
from the entertainment world completely and moved to a secluded
life in New York City. Up until her death, Garbo sightings were
considered sport for paparazzi photographers.
